AI Sentiment Tracker Platform

How AI Is Reshaping
the Future of Work

This website tracks how AI is reshaping the labor market, drawing on job postings, employee reviews, earnings calls, and financial market data.

Explore the latest developments through curated news, dive into regional-level and occupational-level trends, and analyse firm-level data across six key dimensions—AI talent share, hiring, retention, salary premiums, and employee and executive sentiment.

“
Headline Finding
Using textual analysis of Glassdoor reviews, we find that employee sentiment toward AI is significantly more negative than workers' overall sentiment toward their employers, with concerns about job security emerging as the single most consequential driver of that gap.
Key Findings
1
AI-related job postings have grown steadily as a share of total postings, reflecting rising employer demand.
2
At the firm level, the displacement effect falls most heavily on rank-and-file employees: greater AI talent concentration within a firm is associated with reduced hiring and elevated turnover among junior workers.
3
Market reactions to AI announcements are mixed but investors tend to react more negatively to AI-driven layoff announcements.
4
Geographically, AI job posting shares are highest along the coasts, where technology and defense-adjacent industries are concentrated, yet the AI salary premium is paradoxically largest outside established tech hubs, where AI skills remain scarce enough to command an outsized wage advantage.
5
At the industry level, Wholesale & Retail Trade and Transportation show the largest salary premiums, consistent with the same scarcity logic: AI talent is comparatively rare in these traditionally non-technical sectors, so employers pay a substantial premium to attract it.

AI-Related Review Over Time
Quarterly · 2021 – 2025
This figure plots the quarterly share of English-language Glassdoor reviews containing AI-specific commentary. Two events are marked: the public launch of ChatGPT (Q4 2022), which broadly democratized access to generative AI, and the onset of the agentic AI era (Q1 2025), characterized by AI systems capable of autonomous reasoning, tool use, and multi-step workflow execution.
Sentiment Distribution
Employee Glassdoor Reviews
Negative Neutral Positive
This figure presents the sentiment distribution across AI-related Glassdoor review categories for employees who mention AI in their comments. Sentiment is derived from the Harvard General Inquirer IV-4 (HIV4) dictionary, a lexicon-based tool classifying words as positive (n=1,634) or negative (n=2,004). Within each bar, the proportions of negative (red), neutral (gray), and positive (green) sentiment are expressed as a share of total reviews in that category. Overall and AI Sentiment (each n=82,160) capture general firm-level and AI-specific comment sentiment, respectively. Category definitions: AI Job Insecurity — job displacement or workforce reduction attributable to AI; AI Leadership — leadership quality and AI adoption; AI Operations & Productivity — AI-driven efficiency gains and operational conditions; AI Upskill — learning, training, and skill development related to AI.
AI Post (%)
Quarterly · 2023 – 2025
—
This figure displays the quarterly share of AI-related job postings as a percentage of total job postings from January 2023 to December 2025.
Hire Rate and Turnover by Seniority
Impact of AI-Skilled Employees
This figure presents cross-sectional estimates of how AI talent accumulation affects hiring and turnover rates across seniority levels. Among rank-and-file employees, the displacement effect dominates: a higher share of AI talent within a firm is associated with lower new hire rates and higher turnover, with both effects most pronounced among junior workers.
